Helping computer scientists ship real-world breakthroughs.
Laude Institute backs computer science researchers turning research into real-world impact.
We combine independent grantmaking with hands-on support, meeting researchers where they are and helping their work go further. From early stage ideas to open-source projects and long-horizon labs, we partner with those working on problems that push the frontiers of computing and matter at the level of humanity. We believe progress moves fastest when it's shared, so we champion open research, open infrastructure, and open discourse.
Laude Institute is funded by individual technologists, anchored by a $100M pledge from Andy Konwinski. Our growing community of impact researchers hails from leading academic and industry labs.
This is just the beginning, and we intend to build out loud.
Hello, world.
A message from Andy Konwinski on the launch of Laude Institute.
// Team Laude
Built by and for technologists committed to turning research into real-world impact.
// Come work with us
Come work with us on the future of impact research. We're building a team of engineers, operators, communicators, investors, and scientists committed to turning breakthroughs into real-world progress. If you care deeply about open systems, hard problems, real discourse, and practical impact, reach out.
MoTS
Embed directly with researchers to ship code, tools, and artifacts that bring ideas to life.
Ops
Design and run the logistics and systems that keep everything on track and moving forward.
Comms
Drive the message, shape the discourse, and help define what impact means in this era of computing.
Funding
Back research ready to break out into open-source projects or impact-driven startups as part of our grant or investing teams.
Internships
Spend a season building with us with real ownership and lots of room to run from day one.
